About this Cook
I have 10 younger brothers and sisters and did most of the cooking since I was 13 years old. The first time I realized my cooking was appreciated was when my step mother asked me what I put in my spaghetti sauce because no one would eat hers. I didn't tell her. I now have my own little family of four children. Sometimes I will overhear one of my kids telling one of their friends I am the best cook in the world. It makes me happy to know I can put a smile on their face.

Ranch Dressing II
My families new FAVORITE ranch dressing! The recipe as is, is very thick, perfect for a dip. Today, I made potato salad. My family likes ranch dressing in it, but we didn't have any. Remembering this recipe, I quickly pulled out all the ingredients and wala, 5 minutes later, I had my dressing. For a runnier consistency, I doubled all spices and then added buttermilk to the mayo/sour cream to get the consistency I wanted. So very good! My kids today told me I should make this from now on instead of buying from the store. I think I will make this next time with low fat mayo and no fat sour cream for a healthier variety. I'll post this on here later to let you know how this went. P.S. I took the potato salad to a barbecue and when I got there, there were two other potato salad dishes there. In the end, mine was all gone and the other dishes were only half gone! I received many compliments! Thanks for this recipe.

Bubbie's Grits Casserole
Love, Love, Love this recipe! My grandma made this recipe in a dutch oven on every camping trip my family went on when I was growing up. If you are looking for Southern comfort food, you will love this recipe! You can also mix in chopped green onions or chopped green chillies for a little variety.

Pineapple Cheese Casserole
Ok, so I opened a #10 can of pineapple yesterday to make a lime cottage cheese jello dish for St. Patrick's Day and I had lots of pineapple left over. Today I went searching for a recipe to use the pineapple and found this one. I was skeptical because of the cheese, but the ratings were too good to ignore, so I thought "why not". I went searching for Ritz crackers and couldn't find any, so I decided to use saltine crackers despite the fact that no one else had posted saying they had tried substituted them. I have to say that I can't stop eating this. I've already eaten about a third of whole dish myself! Who knew pineapple and cheese would go so well together! Yum! Next time I will have to try the Ritz crackers cause everyone knows how yummy they are. Oh... I melted the butter and mixed them in with the crushed saltine crackers before topping them over the dish. Thanks for the recipe. It's a keeper!
